In this presentation by Josh Brandwene from Penn State Women's Hockey, we explore effective strategies to improve puck possession and its impact on gameplay metrics. Covering three phases, the focus includes essential skills like puck protection, cycling techniques, and small area games, progressing through greater repetition and game-like conditions. Metrics demonstrating the effectiveness of training include improvements in shot margins, offensive zone draws, and scoring chances. Join us to learn how structured practices can significantly elevate performance on the ice.
